MultiChoice increases prices of DSTV and GOtv subscriptions by 17% for the third time in 2023

The rise in the pump price of fuel had adversely affected transporting which had in turn affected the prices of commodities across the nation with Nigerians struggling to afford basic commodities. The prices of commodities hiked further after the President Bola Tinubu led government floated the country’s currency causing it to weaken further at the FX market.

This is not the first time that MultiChoice will be increasing the bouquet prices of DStv and GOtv, recall that the in May, the pay TV firm increased their subscription package by 17 percent after it earlier increased the bouquet prices earlier in the year.

Nigerians have expressed their dissatisfaction over the new prices which comes amid the ongoing economic hardship.
